Description

【０００１】
本発明は、ほぼ平坦な組立面を備える真空整形すなわち真空成形された玩具組立板に関する。同組立面は結合手段を具備し、相補的結合手段を有する玩具組立要素と相互結合される。玩具組立板はまた、最下端において閉塞し最上端において開放するそれぞれスカートの形状を取る下方に突出するスペーサ要素をも具備して、同玩具組立板へ一定の高さを付与する。
【０００２】
真空整形された玩具組立板は、多くの場合平坦な下側と、例えば円筒形結合スタッド形式の結合手段を具備する頂表面とを有するものが一般に知られている。遊戯中これらの玩具組立板は面支持体上に置かれ、さらなる玩具組立要素から成るもっと広範囲の構造物を組み立てる基板として用いられる。
【０００３】
組立板は真空整形に適した比較的容易に撓むプラスチック材から作られ、また結合スタッドに適当な耐性を維持するため比較的薄い材料厚で作られるため、完成品の組立板もまた容易に曲げることができる。
【０００４】
真空整形は比較的安価な製造方法である。この方法を、上方突出結合スタッドを有する平坦面から成り、また一定の高さと剛性とを備える玩具組立板の製造に使用できることが望ましい。このような玩具組立板であれば、典型的には射出成型で作られる他の玩具組立要素の好首尾な代替あるいは補充品となるだろう。
【０００５】
ＤＫ−Ｂ−１２９，０８０は薄いプラスチック材から作られる玩具組立板に言及し、同玩具組立板に両側から突出する円筒形の結合スタッド形式の結合手段を具備させている。この従来技術の玩具組立板は、元来小部分に切断し小型の玩具組立要素を形成するためのものである。材料厚が薄いので、これら従来技術の玩具組立要素の目的の１つでもある、玩具組立要素を比較的容易に曲げることができる。玩具組立板の結合スタッドは規則的に列状に配置される。つまり、本来曲げ線として働く平坦領域が列間に設けられ、結合スタッドの列の間のこの平坦領域に沿って曲げ線により切抜き玩具組立要素は容易に曲げられる。
【０００６】
玩具組立板あるいは玩具組立板から作られる玩具組立要素を面支持体上で使用する場合、下方に突出する結合スタッドは組立板／組立要素に一定の高さを与えるが、組立板／組立要素の縁部近くで組立を行うと、組立板／組立要素の縁部に沿う支持体がなく中心側にしかないため組立板／組立要素が傾くリスクがある。
【０００７】
本発明の目的は、一定の高さを持ち、かつ当業で周知の真空整形された玩具組立板より剛性が増強された、組立をどこで行おうとも組立面が安定する真空整形の玩具組立板を提供することにある。
【０００８】
以上のことは、導入部で特徴づけた玩具組立板が前記スペーサ要素と同じ下方範囲を有する下方突出フランジをその周囲に具備するように構成することでもたらされる。
【０００９】
下方突出フランジとスペーサ要素とが同じ下方範囲を持つということは、面支持体上で使用する際、玩具組立板の外側縁部と同様にその内側縁部も支持されることであるから、従来技術の玩具組立板より高度の剛性を示し、かつ組立に対してより安定性もある玩具組立板がもたらされる。
【００１０】
好ましくは、玩具組立板の組立面にある前記結合手段を列状に配置し、かつ下方に突出するスペーサ要素を少なくとも幾つかの自然な曲げ線、すなわち結合手段の列の間の平坦領域が遮断されるように配置する。これによりさらなる剛性が玩具組立板に付与される。
【００１１】
さらに別の実施形態によれば、下方に突出するスペーサ要素は結合スタッドの形を取り、相補的結合手段を持つ玩具組立要素と相互結合される。この下方突出スペーサ要素により、玩具組立板は他の玩具組立要素の頂部に取り付けることができるため、新規な組立の機会を与えることになる。
【００１２】
玩具組立板の組立面にある結合手段は、それぞれが円筒形の結合スタッドか、あるいは周囲に外側結合領域を配した一中央結合スタッドの形を取るのが好ましい。
【００１３】
本発明を添付図面を参照しながら詳細に説明する。
図１はＤＫ−Ａ−１２９，０８０により言及された真空整形の玩具組立板１を示す。玩具組立板１の断面図を与えるため同図においてコーナーは切断してある。
【００１４】
玩具組立板１は組立面２を備え、組立面２は結合スタッド３形式の上方に突出する結合手段と、これに対応する下方に突出する結合スタッド４とを具備する。結合スタッド３、４は列状に構成され、それぞれの列も、各列の個々の結合スタッド３、４も等間隔に配置される。組立板２はそれ自体、結合スタッド３、４の間に板材により構成される。ハッチ帯で示すように、平坦領域５の連続帯が結合スタッド３、４の列の間に存在する。玩具組立板１は、比較的薄いプラスチック材から作られるため玩具組立板の自然な曲げ線を構成する平坦領域５に沿って容易に曲げられる。
【００１５】
図２は本発明による玩具組立板６を示す。図１に示した玩具組立板１と同様に、玩具組立板６も組立面７を備え、組立面７は結合スタッド８形式の上方に突出する結合手段と、下方に突出するスペーサ要素９とを具備する。スペーサ要素９は実際の結合スタッドの形で設けてもよいが、その特徴は本発明を決定するものではない。
【００１６】
以上から明らかなように、玩具組立板６はその周囲に、下方に突出するフランジ１０を具備し、このフランジ１０の下方範囲はスペーサ要素９の範囲に相当する。これにより玩具組立板６はスペーサ要素９と同様にそのフランジ１０を、玩具組立板で遊ぶ時の常套手段である面支持体に置く際の支持として用いることができる。
【００１７】
周囲のフランジ１０は、従来の技術による玩具組立板１に比較すると玩具組立板６に増強された剛性を与える。このことに加えて、組立に他の玩具組立要素を用いる際、玩具組立板６を支持体として用いるとフランジ１０は安定効果をあげる。なぜなら、フランジ１０が周囲全体を支持するため、玩具組立板６は最外部の下方突出スペーサ要素９の近傍で傾かなくなるからだ。
【００１８】
好ましい実施形態によれば、下方に突出するスペーサ要素９は、図１に示した従来技術から周知の平坦領域５の少なくとも幾つかをスペーサ要素８により遮断するように配置される。これにより、１以上の自然の曲げ線は遮断されるから、増強した剛性が玩具組立板６に付与されることになる。
【００１９】
図２に示す実施形態において、スペーサ要素９は上方に突出する結合スタッド８間の対角線に配される。この配置により確実に各スペーサ要素は貫通する平坦領域５を２つの互に直角な方向に遮断する。
【００２０】
さらにスペーサ要素９の直径は、図２の断面に示すようにそれらの垂直壁部１１が結合スタッド８の垂直壁部１２まで上方に連続するように、あるいは同壁部１２まで上方に少なくともほぼ連続するように寸法取りしてある。この玩具組立板６の構成は、結合スタッド８間の対角線方向に連続した平坦領域が存在しないことを意味する。
【００２１】
図３において、玩具組立板６が上から示してある。組立面７、結合スタッド８及びスペーサ要素９が明瞭に示してある。玩具組立板６に規則的に分布するスペーサ要素９が結合スタッド８間の対角線に配置されるので明瞭である。この配置とそれらの直径は、玩具組立板６を横断して結合スタッド８列間を伸長する平坦領域５が存在しないことと、玩具組立板６に相当に増強された剛性が付与される特性とを意味する。
【００２２】
図４は別の玩具組立板１３を示す。同図においてスペーサ要素９の配置と寸法とは変えられ、各要素は小径を有し同列の２つの結合スタッド間に配置されている。このスペーサ要素９の配置も貫通する平坦領域５を遮断し、これにより玩具組立板１３に増強された剛性が付与される。
【００２３】
図５は本発明による玩具組立板１４のさらに別の実施形態を示す。この実施形態において、玩具組立板１４の頂表面にある結合スタッドは、図１乃至４に示した実施形態とは異なる輪郭を持つ。この形態では、結合スタッドは中央の結合スタッド１５とその周りに位置する外側の結合領域１６とから成る。スペーサ要素９は外側結合領域１６間に配置され、図示したスペーサ要素９の直径により、平坦領域５が遮断されている。
【００２４】
スペーサ要素９の配置と寸法とはもちろん所望通りに変更可能である。スペーサ要素９の主たる目的は、玩具組立板を用いる際に支持体との間隔をつくることにある。玩具組立板の周囲のフランジ１０から同組立板に付与される剛性より高度の剛性が所望の場合は、従来技術で周知の平坦領域５をスペーサ要素９の範囲が遮断するように、同要素９を構成して配置できるようにすれば好都合である。
【００２５】
実施例はもっぱら円形のスペーサ要素９を特徴づけるが、もちろん他の輪郭、例えば結合スタッド間に細長い領域の形状などを有することも可能である。

The present invention relates to a vacuum shaped or vacuum formed toy assembly board having a substantially flat assembly surface. The assembly surface includes coupling means and is interconnected with a toy assembly element having complementary coupling means. The toy assembly plate also includes a downwardly projecting spacer element that takes the shape of a skirt that is closed at the lowermost end and open at the uppermost end to impart a constant height to the toy assembly plate.
[0002]
Vacuum shaped toy building plates are generally known which often have a flat lower side and a top surface with coupling means, for example in the form of cylindrical coupling studs. During play, these toy building plates are placed on a surface support and used as a substrate for assembling a wider range of structures consisting of further toy building elements.
[0003]
The assembly board is also made of a relatively easy-flexible plastic material suitable for vacuum shaping, and with a relatively thin material thickness to maintain adequate resistance to the coupling studs, so the finished assembly board is also easily Can be bent.
[0004]
Vacuum shaping is a relatively inexpensive manufacturing method. It would be desirable to be able to use this method for the production of toy assembly plates consisting of a flat surface with upwardly projecting coupling studs and having a certain height and rigidity. Such a toy building plate would be a successful replacement or replacement for other toy building elements typically made by injection molding.
[0005]
DK-B-129,080 refers to a toy assembly plate made of a thin plastic material, and the toy assembly plate is provided with coupling means in the form of cylindrical coupling studs protruding from both sides. This prior art toy assembly plate is originally cut into small parts to form a small toy assembly element. Because of the low material thickness, the toy assembly element, one of the purposes of these prior art toy assembly elements, can be bent relatively easily. The connecting studs of the toy assembly board are regularly arranged in a row. In other words, flat regions that essentially serve as bend lines are provided between the rows, and the cut toy assembly elements are easily bent by the bend lines along the flat regions between the rows of connecting studs.
[0006]
When a toy assembly plate or a toy assembly element made from a toy assembly plate is used on a surface support, the downwardly projecting connecting stud gives the assembly plate / assembly element a certain height, but the assembly plate / assembly element's When assembling near the edge, there is a risk that the assembly plate / assembly element is inclined because there is no support along the edge of the assembly plate / assembly element and there is only a center side.
[0007]
It is an object of the present invention to provide a vacuum-shaped toy assembly plate having a constant height and having an increased rigidity compared to a vacuum-shaped toy assembly plate well known in the art, where the assembly surface is stable wherever it is assembled. Is to provide.
[0008]
The above is brought about by configuring the toy assembly plate characterized by the introduction part so as to have a downward projecting flange having the same lower range as the spacer element.
[0009]
The fact that the downward projecting flange and the spacer element have the same lower range means that when used on a surface support, the inner edge as well as the outer edge of the toy assembly board is supported. A toy assembly plate is provided that exhibits a higher degree of rigidity than a technical toy assembly plate and is more stable to assembly.
[0010]
Preferably, the coupling means on the assembly surface of the toy building plate are arranged in a row and at least some natural bend lines, ie flat areas between the rows of coupling means, block the downwardly projecting spacer elements. To be arranged. This gives further rigidity to the toy assembly board.
[0011]
According to yet another embodiment, the downwardly projecting spacer element takes the form of a coupling stud and is interconnected with a toy assembly element having complementary coupling means. This downward projecting spacer element allows the toy assembly board to be attached to the top of other toy assembly elements, thus providing a new assembly opportunity.
[0012]
The coupling means on the assembly surface of the toy building plate are preferably in the form of cylindrical coupling studs or one central coupling stud with an outer coupling area around it.
[0013]
The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a vacuum shaped toy assembly board 1 referred to by DK-A-129,080. In order to provide a cross-sectional view of the toy assembly board 1, the corners are cut in the figure.
[0014]
The toy assembly plate 1 includes an assembly surface 2, and the assembly surface 2 includes a coupling means projecting upward in the form of a coupling stud 3 and a coupling stud 4 projecting downward corresponding thereto. The coupling studs 3 and 4 are arranged in rows, and each row and the individual coupling studs 3 and 4 in each row are arranged at equal intervals. The assembly plate 2 itself is constituted by a plate material between the coupling studs 3 and 4. As indicated by hatched bands, a continuous band of flat regions 5 exists between the rows of coupling studs 3, 4. Since the toy assembly board 1 is made of a relatively thin plastic material, it is easily bent along the flat region 5 that constitutes the natural bending line of the toy assembly board.
[0015]
FIG. 2 shows a toy assembly board 6 according to the present invention. Similar to the toy assembly plate 1 shown in FIG. 1, the toy assembly plate 6 also has an assembly surface 7. It has. The spacer element 9 may be provided in the form of an actual coupling stud, but its characteristics are not decisive for the present invention.
[0016]
As is clear from the above, the toy assembly plate 6 is provided with a flange 10 projecting downward on the periphery thereof, and the lower range of the flange 10 corresponds to the range of the spacer element 9. As a result, the toy assembly plate 6 can be used as a support when the flange 10 is placed on a surface support which is a conventional means when playing with the toy assembly plate, like the spacer element 9.
[0017]
The peripheral flange 10 provides enhanced rigidity to the toy assembly plate 6 as compared to the toy assembly plate 1 according to the prior art. In addition to this, when other toy assembly elements are used for assembly, the flange 10 provides a stable effect when the toy assembly plate 6 is used as a support. Because the flange 10 supports the entire periphery, the toy assembly plate 6 does not tilt in the vicinity of the outermost downward projecting spacer element 9.
[0018]
According to a preferred embodiment, the downwardly projecting spacer elements 9 are arranged such that at least some of the flat regions 5 known from the prior art shown in FIG. Thereby, since one or more natural bending lines are cut off, the increased rigidity is imparted to the toy assembly board 6.
[0019]
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the spacer elements 9 are arranged diagonally between the connecting studs 8 projecting upward. This arrangement ensures that each spacer element blocks the penetrating flat region 5 in two mutually perpendicular directions.
[0020]
Furthermore, the diameter of the spacer elements 9 is such that their vertical walls 11 continue upwardly to the vertical wall 12 of the coupling stud 8 as shown in the cross section of FIG. It is dimensioned to do. This configuration of the toy assembly board 6 means that there is no flat area continuous in the diagonal direction between the coupling studs 8.
[0021]
In FIG. 3, the toy assembly plate 6 is shown from above. The assembly surface 7, the coupling stud 8 and the spacer element 9 are clearly shown. It is clear that the spacer elements 9 distributed regularly on the toy assembly plate 6 are arranged diagonally between the connecting studs 8. This arrangement and their diameter are characterized by the absence of a flat region 5 extending across the row of connecting studs 8 across the toy assembly plate 6 and the characteristic that the toy assembly plate 6 is provided with a considerably increased rigidity. Means.
[0022]
FIG. 4 shows another toy assembly plate 13. In the figure, the arrangement and dimensions of the spacer elements 9 are changed, and each element has a small diameter and is arranged between two connecting studs in the same row. The arrangement of the spacer elements 9 also blocks the flat region 5 that passes therethrough, thereby imparting enhanced rigidity to the toy assembly plate 13.
[0023]
FIG. 5 shows yet another embodiment of a toy assembly board 14 according to the present invention. In this embodiment, the connecting stud on the top surface of the toy assembly plate 14 has a different profile than the embodiment shown in FIGS. In this form, the coupling stud consists of a central coupling stud 15 and an outer coupling region 16 located around it. The spacer elements 9 are arranged between the outer coupling areas 16 and the flat area 5 is blocked by the diameter of the spacer elements 9 shown.
[0024]
The arrangement and dimensions of the spacer elements 9 can of course be changed as desired. The main purpose of the spacer element 9 is to create a spacing with the support when using the toy assembly board. If a higher degree of rigidity is desired than the rigidity imparted to the assembly board from the flange 10 around the toy assembly board, the element 9 is arranged so that the area of the spacer element 9 blocks the flat region 5 known in the prior art. It is convenient if it can be configured and arranged.
[0025]
The embodiment characterizes exclusively circular spacer elements 9, but it is of course possible to have other contours, such as the shape of elongated regions between the coupling studs.
